First stop – Jupiter beach Inlet, located at the confluence of the Loxahatchee River, Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. The colors of blue as the river and ocean mix.

Tenderfoot – Oro Trail and Vail Visit
A 3 mile RT hike near Dillion lake. This hike gives us a panoramic views of Dillion lake and area. It was a short and satisfying hike. This is a good fall hike too. We saw the aspens changing but the next week would have been perfect. We hiked under the woods watching the aspens…
State forest state park
We stayed at this remote cabin which once used to be ranger’s cabin – Stub creek cabin. I wanted to be in a forest with no electronics and well this did it. It was too remote actually (for our taste). For miles and miles to and fro this place there was no signal. But I…

Pine Valley Ranch Park
This park is less known but very good for a picnic. Very short hikes and fully shaded picnic tables. We walked along the river and around the lake which was a short stroll. We picnicked there in peace and just rested.
Sawmill Reservoir
We wanted to hike but wanted a short one so that our son could walk or we could carry him. For some reason he hates the carrier. This one is a 1.3 mile round trip hike to the lake along the creek. It was nice stroll and we sat near the creek to take it…
Victoria, Canada
We took a 90 minute long ferry ride from Port Angeles, WA to Victoria, Canada. The ferry ride itself was beautiful. We could see the mountains amidst the blue ocean. Victoria is a small coastal town. It was a big change for us coming from a mountain city. The green town with all thee blue…
Olympic National Park
This is our first time visiting Washington state and it was so good. Maybe we were there on a good week? But It did not rain as much as we expected. It had sun and the lush green was very inviting. We loved the bird eye view when we landed. The water and the lush…
Kid friendly places in Santa Monica
Douglas Park This park is so beautiful. It has pond full of ducks and turtles. We even saw ducklings. So cute. Pigeons visits the pond from time to time. Lot of kids chase these around. Watching the ducks swim was calming even for me. The creek flowing by and the park with a lot of…
